“What is Social Justice? Social Justice is the equal distribution of resources and opportunities, in which outside factors that categorize people are irrelevant.”
—Pachamama Alliance

At last, your long ordeal at the hands of the corporate inquisition is finally over. After six months of being interrogated by suspicious HR managers, defending yourself against false accusations, clarifying all the intentional misunderstandings and mischaracterizations, explaining away the ridiculous exaggerations, and enduring the cold shoulder from half the employees in your office, your boss has assured you that everything is good and you are in the clear. You’re grateful, of course, since he’s been staunchly in your corner since the first time HR descended on you like a thunderbolt for your alleged sins against diversity and inclusion. In the end, it turned out that it was all the consequence of a Dilbert cartoon taped on the inside of your door, to which one of the women in the office took offense; at least, that was the only tangible offense that remained after the six-month investigation failed to turn up any evidence of all the other crimes of which you were accused.

“I really appreciate the way you went to bat for me,” you tell your boss. And you’re truly grateful to him. When everyone else looked the other way, happy that the wolves weren’t out to devour them, your boss didn’t hesitate to tell his superiors that all the rumors were ridiculous, even going so far as to provide a vice-president with your travel itinerary and proving that you were in Canada visiting customers on the day you supposedly lingered at the entrance of your nameless accuser’s cubicle too long and made her feel uncomfortable. You’re pretty sure that if it wasn’t for him, you’d be out in the street looking for a new job already.

“Hey, you’re a valuable member of the team,” he assures you. “I’d hate to lose you, especially over some crazy nonsense like this. All you have to do is attend a one-day diversity class, and you can put this whole thing behind you.”

Diversity class? But you didn’t do anything! Didn’t they just confirm that you didn’t do anything?

“Why do I have to take the class now since they know I didn’t do any of that stuff?”

He spreads his hands and shrugs. “You know how it is. Sure, everyone knows you’re in the clear, but this lets the CEO assure everyone that we take racism and sexism and homophobia and all that very seriously, and keeps the directors off his back. I mean, the official story is that it’s all just a big misunderstanding, right, so they’re having you take this class to make sure there aren’t any more misunderstandings in the future.”

“But there wasn’t any misunderstanding. It was all just a pack of outright lies!”

He winces. “Hey, I know that, and you know that. Hell, everyone in the executive suite knows that. But they can’t come right out and say it either, can they?”

“Why not?”

“Because if they did, they’d have to fire the woman who brought the accusations against you, and nobody wants that kind of trouble. Look, we all know there is something seriously wrong with that woman. But if they fire her, we’re talking a wrongful dismissal lawsuit at the very least, and probably other employees getting upset and threatening to quit, other whackjobs manufacturing sob stories about how they were harassed or offended or whatever, and HR going nuclear. And if word got out to the media that we fired a black woman, forget about it! By the time it was all over, we’d have to rehire her and promote her to department head, set up a scholarship fund for disadvantaged youth, and sponsor at least three Women in Tech conferences.”

You stare at him, aghast. You can’t believe that after putting you through six months of Hell for nothing, your accuser isn’t going to get so much as a slap on the wrist.

“So that’s it? I get eight hours of detention for doing nothing while she gets nothing for lying about me? Isn’t there something in the employee handbook about not bearing false witness?”

“HR just thinks that’s the Bible. It’s not actually the real thing, you know.” He laughs bitterly. “Blessed are the freaks, for they shall inherit the corner office.”

So, with no little bitterness in your own heart, you heed his jaded advice and agree to do your time in diversity indoctrination camp. It’s not so bad, really. It’s essentially a day off, except instead of getting work done around the house, you’re spending it being lectured by an angry Asian woman in power lesbian attire, a very fat white woman with blue hair who breaks down in tears every time she talks, and an effeminate, overweight black man in a dress whose posterior rivals that of a force-fed hippopotamus. It rather reminds you of college, actually, only the catered food is better and there isn’t any beer.

Your fellow classmates are all white, all male, and most of them look bewildered and scared. They are programmers and IT guys for the most part, bearded and overweight and absolutely terrified of losing their jobs.

Oooooooh. I dont comment here very much, but, damn. Vox completely nailed this. In my situation, it was a really crappy job to begin with, so I wasnt too upset when I was the third person the black female employee got fired.

I disrespected her by looking at the readouts on a line she was running and asking her what was going on.

Weeks after I left, the line broke and the company shut down. I never got confirmation who was running the line when it failed catastrophically, but I know who I would bet on.

Been there many, many times in my unionized corporate environment. My view was simple, related to the 'your fist/my nose concept':

If you say something loud enough that others can hear it, you should expect a dissenting opinion, especially if it is pushing SJW bile.

Of course, this was lost in the interview, where I was on the ropes, but can proudly say that my record is in the neighborhood of 20 wins, zero losses.

The MAIN thing to remember, going in, is to have a clear conscience, to address the complaints with this mindset. The enemy is looking for an opening, and if you are clear, blunt and keep your cool, they back off (for numerous reasons, laziness likely being one of them).

Seems at times that a Mad Max scenario would help the human race slough off the SJWs, betas, and hateful freaks. Miller was not kidding with the depiction of baddies in Mad Max 2 (there is even a guy with pink died hair who fortunately and symbolically dies in a fire).

Unfortunately for the SJW in question, he was the only guy who knew anything about several critical processes.

Management had to bring him back as a consultant, because HR refused to actually rehire.

He charged about 20x his original salary. The amount was sufficient to get the owner's attention, and he politely asked why they fired him, and if he was so awful, why were they ET e paying him insane amounts of money?

Don't go throwing the baby out with the bathwater here.

The world runs on the backs of betas and deltas, so you can't get rid of them, even if you wanted (besides, we'd both very likely be getting rid of ourselves).

It's the SJW's and gammas that the world could do without. It's almost redundant to say it that way, actually, as I'm fair sure that a Venn diagram of SJW's and gammas would just end up looking like a very slight oval.

Modern culture alienates the independent thinkers. It also seems to test one's loyalty regularly (puts out a leftist PC message).

But one still has to 'put food on the plate' and decides to enter the workplace.

There he meets the busybodies, the gossips, the prying types and has two choices: 1. become agreeable to their message, eventually losing his masculine identity or 2. putting up the warning lines and defending them.

As for gammas: what does the gamma gain from choosing to engage the #2 person above, who only wants fair treatment and to be respected?

Next time I get trapped in a Kafkaesque Star Chamber interrogation, I hope I will manage to pointedly ask them one thing: what is the procedure for handling employees/students who are falsely accused, who are completely innocent of any actionable transgression, and deserve zero-zip-no sanctions of any kind, and how are their false accusers going to be punished?

Then, when they try to change the subject, I would hope I would say that I'm not talking about ANY other topic until I get my question answered, loudly and repeatedly interrupting people way higher up than me as needed.

It strikes me that, over time, as this information filters out and Men start hitting back within their companies that lawsuits will eventually start flying. One thing about the HR Complaint attacks is that everything is written down. But you've got to not apologize or admit fault at the first point of conflict to put real fear into the company.

The SJW will respond like Gawker, not realizing they've been ruined until it is far too late.

Energy. Most of their activities are done to not just assuage the torment from within, but to produce more energy. That part is little different from the person that is always angry, as the angry person is using the Anger to produce more Net Energy. However, in the exact same way as the angry person, it's Short-term Energy at Long-term Cost. Repeated each day.

That's why the Leftist news is designed around pissing you off each day. "Worst Person in the World"? Same approach. They need something to drive the energy production, and it's playing on an approach within the body that burns through protectively stored energy. Over time, it eats the person apart, causing sub-cellular damage because they've made themselve malnourished within multiple organ structures.

You can see this, most clearly, in the fat ones. Why? Because they have to eat to get energy, but it's thrown their stress response systems out of control. (It's actually massively increased their stress response vectors because of Cortisol balance.)

So, the first SJW deprogramming approach: Keto Diet. They need the ultra-low carb diet to start the rebuilding process. Though it's going to be brutal for them.

"Management had to bring him back as a consultant, because HR refused to actually rehire."

Therein lies a big part of the problem with corporate America. There was a time when there was a "Personnel" department, a useful staff function that assured that when employees hired, promoted, fired or retired, they receive the appropriate paperwork.

About the time I started my professional career-(late 80's) Personnel had morphed into HR, and had begun to assert itself in advisory capacity-so it was that I was hired because the HR rep convinced my hiring manager to bring me on, despite his ambivalence.

By the time I left that company ten and a half years later, HR had begun to assert itself as a line function-no longer ensuring that personnel actions were conducted according to established policy and procedure and properly documented-but intervening in those actions.

I am convinced that they assumed this power the same way that judiciary assumed a supreme right over legislative and executive action-through progressively more aggressive usurpation of abdicated responsibilities.

HR is filled with social "sciences" majors; and HRM is little more than a social sciences degree with the veneer of business administration. Given that the social sciences are petri dshes for SJW's-it's no accident that HR was the insertion point for the hard left politics that dominate corporate America.

The excerpt reads like retcon fiction authored by an angry ex-employee. I've worked in large corporations a couple of decades ago, and I never witnessed or heard of anything like the excerpt.

No, wait, I do remember something like this. A couple of decades ago, Jesse Jackson was shaking down corporations in much the same way. Threats, even if empty, can go a long way towards changing the subject to a topic that favors the one who makes the threat.

SJWs learned from his example, and they learned to use the available legal frameworks to bend heretics to their will, no matter how specious their claim. Any slight must be adjudicated. Irony, satire, hyperbole, or just plain funny is no longer a defense. SJWs warp perception through legalities enforced by outside authorities.

If you post something marginal on the Internet, SJWs will hunt you down and burn you out or shut you down. This is what SJWs do.

I think VD's SJW Always... series is solid advice from a guy who knows more about SJW tactics than anybody else.

They need to be destroyed and rebuilt.

Economics. More Austrian.Anthropology. With bones for racial groups.Psychology. Genes and brain scans.Sociology. Make it not a joke major.Archaeology. Lots of Christianity to make heads explode.Poli Sci. Neurology and demographics.

I'm at chapter 6 so haven't quite hit the psych profile of the SJW that's explains everything, but reading through the convergence chapter leaves the impression of intention in the SJW convergence sequence. I don't quite agree with that impression.

I see it more as a self-organizing system of beliefs that invariably leads to SJW convergence, which is worse in practice.

It's more like the SJW cult mentality instills a moral system that demands activism, through which people are trained to be useless, which leads to them seeking out jobs that let them be useless activists, which begins the SJW convergence pattern.

This self-organizing pattern feels more quietly implied than outright specified in the earlier chapters of SJWADD, although my tired, hazy memory says you wrote a few somethings to that effect here and there. And rhetorically, better to blanket them with intention even if the charge only fits a minority.

But the way I see it, SJWs should be characterized as the Flood from Halo - a parasitic monster that's sole reason for existence is to turn all life into itself. The finer point here is the little, swarming flesh blobs that make up most of the SJW horde are only running simple pathological scripts that they are generally ignorant of and unable to comprehend. Functional, directed SJW intelligence only shows up in the later stages of convergence when the level of infection can support it.

In either case, the solution is the same: Burn it with fire, to the last spore.

Interestingly, Western Civ seems to have started an immune system-like response years ago, if very quietly and subtly. Along with Halo's Flood (and Covenant now that I think about), Do watch Disney's The Lion King again if you want to see what I mean. It's a scarily accurate dramatization of modern times, delivered at just the right moment in history to implant its themes into the GenX subconscious.

I'll touch on what The Lion King does lightly because I'd rather not start an awareness that'd lead Disney to disappear it and rob parents of a very good teaching tool.

Scar is the tyrant archetype that depicts the NeoMarxist Gamma personality of today a bit too well. He's a hidden king that mistakes his bitterness and treachery for intelligence. Even has his own Antifa thugs. Do pay attention to his lines and the interactions between him and Simba; "Truth is in the eye of the Behold-" isn't even the most telling.

The choice of voice actors matters too. Whoopi Goldberg headed a pack of hyenas in The Lion King before she headed a pack of hyenas on The View. Mufasa is black because, ironically, the good father archetype within the American subconscious lasted longer as the idealized Black American father than it did in the white community (which is another reason Baby Boomers are the worst). Think Alpha Male archetype and the closest modern pop examples if you don't see why he had to be voiced by James Earl Jones.

Timon and Pumbaa are libertarian-esque keyboard warriors/netizens living in the paradise of arrested adolescence (i.e. college, then parent's basement). Skinny-fat and fat-fat versions respectively.

Nala is Simba's Jungian Anima, by the by. Not a modern KAF. Zazu is the only character I haven't quite nailed down.

Zazu is the non-political functionary that works in middle management. They repeat the lines of whoever is in charge. He has a notably British accent, and played by Black Adder himself, Rowan Atkinson. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000100/?ref_=tt_cl_t1

I'm not sure I'd tag Scar as a Secret King gamma. He's the one that manipulates them. He's a puppetmaster that desires power, but he's not able to sustain it himself because he views power as the "ends". Power is a means to some end, which Scar doesn't actually understand. (He's more like a deeply envious Delta.) But it makes him incredibly dangerous because he's still competent to manipulate large groups of people.

Kind of like those Media Masters that attempt to manipulate everyone. Scar is also played by a British actor. (There's some reasoning to that in general, as this is a version of Hamlet.) But the take is very reflective of the Continental Elites who play games for Power and Control, but actually can't make the trains run on time. Most especially it is the arrogance that gets them.

After I posted, I decided Zazu was National Review style conservatism: People who squawk a lot about tradition and how things should be without actually conserving anything. Translates pretty well to apolitical middle management type functionaries in that them standing for something politically is mostly a charade. They merely slow the political change they ultimately bow to, if that.

I may have overplayed the Gamma connection with Scar, as I've not entirely groked the dynamics there. Manipulative media and globalist Elites aren't a bad fit for him, no. So NeoMarxist, inherent right of rulership style tyrant mentality. It still feels like there's a connection to the Gamma mindset there, in that maybe Gammas are something like the Continental Elites if they didn't have the wealth and influence to play their games of Power and Control?

Oh, I recently realized that the crazy hyena named 'Ed' was based on an archetype of some sort, maybe. It seems to be something like the 'Crazy Eddie' phenomenon described in The Mote In God's Eye, but looking into the connection and what all that represents is still on my to-do list. Might just be a weird coincidence I'm reading too much into, but kind of doubt it at this point.

@20 MM: "The ensuing cognitive dissonance, having been raised to believe that talent, hard work, and leadership would be handsomely rewarded in the free market, is crippling."

This is omitted purposely from undergrad/college instruction. A secret they don't want to get out because if it does, people wouldn't get suckered in.

I tell every youth I encounter about to enter the job market to find out his/her disposition first. It is crucial that one knows the type of person he is and what environment he can work around, because some people should steer clear of corporate life.

I don't want to sound quibbling...but I'm going to do so anyway. There are far more typos (and even missing words and truncated paragraphs) than I am accustomed to from the many fine Castalia House products I have purchased (and received for free). Vox, were you the editor? Perhaps a mini-me Vox did the job? I look forward to Version 002.

Seriously, what part of iterative editing is difficult for some of you to understand? ATOB is on version 011, FFS. Due to the harsh penalties for moving a preorder, we didn't have time to get the proofing done until AFTER Amazon locked the preorder. Version 002 just missed being included by literally minutes.

I look forward to Version 002.

Version 003 has been out since yesterday morning. Version 004 will be out later today. This is the beauty of digital publishing, and why we always do digital editions first.

I managed to get a black woman fired but I was smart enough not to explain why she was wrong to her, forcing her true self to be shown. If I explained how she was wrong she would have lied to avoid the consequences of a multi department mess she made.

with your travel itinerary and proving that you were in Canada visiting customers on the day you supposedly lingered at the entrance of your nameless accuser’s cubicle too long and made her feel uncomfortable

You would think just a picture of the niggerette would be proof.

I had the holdover habit from the military of putting ------nothing follows at the end of reviews ect, only to find a cunt manager making additions on the side after finding out I could prove the information wrong.

Oy Vey, RAs forced to post pics of them at GLBT eventshttps://www.campusreform.org/?ID=9934

"At a recent staff meeting, the RA’s supervisor told them that they were required to attend an LGBTQ+ event during October, as it is “LGBTQ+ history month.” They must choose an event to attend, invite their residents to come with them, stay for the entirety of the event, and take a picture to document their attendance.

If someone refuses to attend an event, disciplinary action should be expected, the RA told Campus Reform. Such disciplinary action usually includes verbal and written warnings and possible termination."

I wonder at the geographical distribution. In the Chicago metro, in every one of the BigCorps that I have contracted with, the number of SJWs appeared to be zero or close to zero. Perhaps it is as simple as BigCorps in the midwest not being SJW friendly. Or perhaps it is because they staff Indians in preference to young people. Or both.

In organizational tactics : skin carcass, Vox mentions the desire of the immortal starstuff philosophers infiltrating Catholic orders to see the Church burned down as their funeral pyre. That's a generic trait of people born in the middle of the last century. They were taught to worship youth and themselves and continue to sing Imagine and other songs from when they were young. The thing they hate the most isn't being identified as the old White men they hate, but the existence of younger White men who disagree with them. The conservatives also hate to know that younger White men exist who disagree with them about anything.

In my case, the SJW was strutting around the office in a dress acting like a bitchy slut toward everyone not playing his game that he was a she and made the mistake of asking me what I thought of about it.

I calmly explained that personality disorders manifest in many different ways and that while it's unfortunate they exist, those afflicted have a moral responsibility to work on their disorderedness to achieve normalcy to the extent they are able rather than seek to use the government and institutional power to destroy everyone that refuses to go along with the charade.

The next day at closing time I was called into a board room and told to surrender my company car, keys, etc... which I did. They wanted me to sign a separation document which I refused to do. They had a taxi waiting for me out front to take me home.

I took the opportunity to finish my MBA and refresh my manifold technical certifications. I also took satisfaction in the numerous phone calls of department heads calling me to plea for help as the network and software they relied on to do their work degraded around them without me there (e.g. IT administrator who knew the infrastructure inside and out). Tough luck. It took them two years to recover from that because I refused to lift a finger after what they did to me.
